CA-GOV: The Media

I could be wrong, but based on my RSS reader, the last story published by the LA Times on the governor's race, not an announcement of a poll but a story, was September 28. That's 8 days ago.

If you're running for chief executive of what amounts to a nation-state with a population of 39 million, and the only newspaper for the largest city in that nation hasn't run an article about that race for chief executive in an entire week, with a month of the election, would you say that there's a problem there?

I know the LA Times fancies itself as a national paper, but this borders on unconscionable. The real question is, given that the only debate is scheduled for two days from now, will they bother to send someone to cover it?
